NINE favorite places and TWO we’d skip.
1, 2, 3 #TaichungGreenMuseumbrary designed by 🌿 Barely a month old and one of the main reasons we came. The building is huge, yet every corner is beautifull. We had a lunch reservation and had to leave, but could have spent the entire day here without getting bored. ✨TIP: Go right when it opens for the most peaceful experience. Coffee and light meals are available at Element Café in the garden area.
4-7 #HuangxiAcademy 🏛️ An unexpected favorite. Very small, but incredibly beautiful. The carvings and details are exquisite. ✨TIP: Worth visiting if you love traditional architecture and photography. It’s free.
8, 9 #LuceChapel ⛪ Designed by I. M. Pei, located on the Tunghai University campus. Sculptural, serene, and quietly moving. ✨TIP: It opens to the public from 4PM. We didn’t stay late enough, but were told it lights up beautifully at night.
10, 11 aka National Taiwan Museum of Comics 🌳 A cluster of old Japanese-era buildings surrounded by century-old banyan trees, right in the middle of the city. ✨TIP: Many exhibitions were closed when we visited, but honestly — the buildings and grounds are the real highlight.
12, 13 #SaisonKissa ☕ A former two-storey doctor’s clinic and home turned café, with much of the original vintage interior intact. We went around 3PM for coffee and dessert and had the place completely to ourselves. ✨TIP: Second-floor seating only — shoes off.
14 🪜 A very hip artisan café with excellent coffee. The second floor has soaring ceilings and feels unexpectedly grand. ✨TIP: The complex also includes a baking studio and curated art space — both were closed when we visited, so check hours ahead.
15 💎 A treasure trove of vintage brooches and earrings — from century-old pieces to Dior and Chanel from the 1960s. The owner’s knowledge is incredible. ✨TIP: It’s also part of a complex with shops and restaurants.
16-18 Family Complex 🏯 #GongBaoDi and Mansion.
TIP: Separate tickets, right next to each other.
Our absolute fave and two to skip in the comments 😉
1,2,3 #SanGimignano 🏰
Often called “Medieval Manhattan” for its towers, San Gimignano is lively but still full of quiet corners if you wander a little. Grab Crema di Santa Fina gelato at and enjoy it sitting by the well. Climb to the second-floor terrace of the Museo Civico for one of the best views in town, then walk all the way to the back to Chiesa di Sant’Agostino — serene, less visited, and one of our favorite spots here.
4 🌿
#Monteriggioni, known as “The Crown of Tuscany,” is small but unforgettable. Lunch at #OsteriaAnticoTravaglio is always a good idea — the pici never disappoints. Don’t miss, a tiny local shop selling the softest recycled linen. My daughter has very sensitive skin and usually avoids linen, but she absolutely loved what she bought here. The wall walk is short, but the views are worth every step.
5 #Siena 🐎
“The Gothic Heart of Tuscany” is undeniably beautiful — and undeniably busy. If you can, arrive early in the morning, before the crowds fully settle in, or consider an overnight stay at. Either way, don’t miss the alley Costa SantʻAntonio — one of the loveliest viewpoints in the city.
6,7,8 #Pienza 🌾
Called “The Ideal Renaissance City” — and I agree. Walk along the sides of Pienza Cathedral and the Val d’Orcia opens up in front of you. A tour of, the residence of Pope Pius II, is a must — the second-floor terrace offers yet another stunning view. For people-watching, sit at La Posta across the cathedral with a cappuccino (but only before 11am, of course ☕😉). Later, grab a simple Caprese sandwich at Bar Il Rossellino on your way out. Next time, we’ll likely stay a few nights at.
9,10 Monticchiello 🌄
Also known as “The Balcony of the Val d’Orcia.” A small, hilly village with a lookout that offers some of the most beautiful views of the valley. It ended up being one of our favorite viewpoints of the entire trip.
Bonus in the comments ☺️
And the details most visitors never notice.
1, 2, 3 #경복궁 — The Grand One
The largest and most iconic of Seoul’s royal palaces, first built in 1395.
Most visitors stop at the main halls, but walk all the way to the back. That’s where you’ll find Gyotaejeon, the Queen’s residence. It’s quieter, more intimate, and where you’ll often find the most beautiful photographs (such as the cover photo).
Insider tip: A few times a year, the palace opens Gyeonghoeru, the floating pavilion. This is where the king hosted banquets and celebrations with his closest officials. If you happen to visit on one of those days, don’t miss the chance. It’s rare, and very special.
4, 5, 6 #창덕궁 — The Most “Korean” Palace
Many consider this the most authentically Korean palace. Unlike Gyeongbokgung which is flat, Changdeokgung follows the natural hills and curves. It feels lived-in, gentle, and deeply connected to nature.
The Secret Garden (Huwon) is the highlight. Each season is beautiful in a different way: fresh greens in spring, deep shade in summer, golden leaves in autumn, and quiet stillness in winter.
Insider tip: The Secret Garden requires a timed entry. Book ahead if possible.
7 #창경궁 — A Palace with a Complicated Past
Originally a royal residence for queens and dowager queens, Changgyeonggung was later turned into a zoo during the Japanese colonial era (a painful chapter in its history).
Today, it has reclaimed its dignity. The glass greenhouse is unexpectedly lovely, and at night, the palace hosts light installations that feel calm and atmospheric rather than flashy.
Insider tip: It’s open till 9PM.
8, 9 #덕수궁 — East Meets West
Small, but incredibly unique. Deoksugung reflects Korea’s late-Joseon period, when the country was opening to the West. Inside the palace grounds, you’ll find traditional Korean buildings alongside Western-style architecture. One of those Western buildings now houses a branch of the MMCA. It’s small, but beautiful. Making it one of my favorite places in Seoul.

A year shaped by new friendships, new perspective and endless adventures. These are the places that made it unforgettable.
#Kyoto continues to be one of my favorites, familiar yet never tiring. Nara, with its deer, brought an easy warmth to the days. Osaka and Fukuoka were stopovers that felt immediately comfortable, places that welcomed you without asking for adjustment. Gyeongju carried the depth of Korea’s history with quiet confidence, where tradition and modern life exist side by side without tension.
We found much needed rest along ’s turquoise beaches in NhaTrang and Phuket.
Istanbul revealed itself through its small neighborhoods, grounded and human, a joy to wander. #Marrakech was intense and immersive, full of energy and contrast. #Florence was even more beautiful than I imagined, and #Tuscany somehow surpassed every photo I had seen before. Paris felt familiar yet unfamiliar, allowing me to notice it in a new way. And #Shanghai surprised me in the best possible sense.
These were the places we were lucky enough to call our home in 2025
Looking back, what I’m most grateful for are the moments that stayed.
Small scenes that lingered long after we left. Walking unfamiliar streets, sitting quietly somewhere new, seeing places again through my daughter’s eyes. Some places became memories not because they were grand, but because we shared them.
As the year closes, those moments matter more than distance or dates.
And as the new year begins, I’m carrying them with me, grateful for where we went, and quietly curious about where new year may take us.
These are must-visit museums that reveal the city’s history, values, and depth of culture.
1 2 #국립중앙박물관
Once relatively under the radar, now consistently bustling. The museum store is one of the main attractions. Despite the crowds, it delivers: expansive galleries, strong digital exhibitions, and clear views toward Namsan Tower Tip: The museum connects directly to #YongsanFamilyPark #용산가족공원, a vast, beautifully kept green space many visitors miss
3 4 #국립한글박물관
Located on the same grounds as the Natlk Museum, it’s smaller, calmer, and quietly excellent. Exhibitions are consistently thoughtful, crowds are minimal. A personal favorite for a slower, more reflective visit
Tip: The top-floor Hangeul-themed children’s playground is a local favorite
5 6
Owned by the Samsung group, and naturally one of Korea’s most influential museums. Exceptional traditional works alongside rotating contemporary exhibitions
Tip: Don’t miss the sculptural stairs and Olafur Eliasson’s Gravity Stairs, one of my favorite photo spots in Seoul
7, 8 #문화역서울284
The original Seoul Station, beautifully restored into a cultural space. Elegant, historic, and atmospheric. Nearby, Seoul’s version of, is worth a walk on a pleasant day
Tip: Make sure to check their schedule, they do close down from time to time
9, 10
A Catholic-run museum dedicated to Korea’s Christian martyrs. Beneath the ground level, stone structures, restrained lighting, and digital installations create a deeply contemplative atmosphere Tip: Don’t miss Through the Narrow Gate, entered from the courtyard. You pass through a beautiful digital art, and arrive at this beautifully lit stone garden—serene, peaceful, and humbling. It’s one of my favorite artworks
The last four (including one that makes me nostalgic) in the captions😉
These are the museums I recommend to friends who like to wander slowly. A few of them are places even locals tend to miss.
1 2 #APMA Located inside hq designed by, this museum feels serene and monumental at the same time. It is one of my personal favorites. It’s always curated with impeccable taste
Tip: Visit right when it opens. Have lunch at in the basement, enjoy a honey latte at Innisfree Café on the second floor, and pick up matcha treats from before leaving
3 4 #SeMA #서울시립미술관 This city-run museum is housed in a beautifully preserved former Supreme Court building from the late 1920s, combining a historic stone façade with contemporary exhibition spaces. It is calm, rarely crowded.
Tip: Combine your visit with a slow walk through #Jeongdong #정동길 and Pai Chai Museum (below)
5 6 Very popular among locals, this is a beautifully hidden red brick building. It brings together exhibition spaces, a café, a shop, and a small store in one thoughtful space Tip: The top floor has a lovely view of Namsan Tower
7 8 Opened in 2021, this museum spans several carefully restored historic buildings. The focus is on Korean craft traditions, from everyday objects to contemporary interpretations, and it is dense, detailed, and quietly immersive Tip from: This building photographs beautifully on film
9 10 Dedicated to, one of Korea’s most important abstract artists, this museum is contemplative in both its art and architecture, designed to encourage slow looking Tip: Do not skip the outdoor terraces
Continued in comment: 🤫 Deep cuts—Museums that even the locals don’t know
After eating my way through every 2&3-star restaurant in Korea, these are the places I’d actually recommend to my closest friends.
1-3 La Yeon — Best Upscale Traditional Korean My unwavering number 1. Real Korean flavors, impeccably elevated. It’s never gimmicky, never over-modernized. If someone asks, “Where can I taste real Korean fine dining?” this is it. Why I love it: It feels like Korea, but dressed in couture.
3-8 — Best Innovative Korean & Korea’s Only 3-Star Playful, smart, beautifully balanced. Chef Kang treats Korean ingredients like a composer. Nostalgic yet surprising. For people who say: Korean, but surprise me.
9 — Best Insider Secret & Best Open Kitchen I’ve followed Chef Lee since his first pop-up 13 years ago. Watching him cook in the open kitchen feels like theatre. It’s intimate, warm, and quietly brilliant. Fun update: He’ll appear on the next season of Culinary Class Wars. Book now before everyone else tries.
11, 12 — Best Flavors If we judged only by flavor, this could be no.1. Bold, confident, deeply satisfying dishes. Reservations are surprisingly not as impossible as people think. For people who say: Just feed me the best food in Seoul.
13-15 — Best Relaxed Upscale Dining Elegant but never stiff. Warm service, thoughtful plates, and a genuinely joyful atmosphere. We celebrated ’ birthday here 😉 For people who want: Luxury without intensity.
16-18 — Best “Impossible Reservation” Restaurant Beautiful food, thoughtful plating. If you secure a table, you might as well buy a lottery ticket. Fun fact: The head chef is a judge on Culinary Class Wars.
These are the restaurants I return to. The ones that linger long after the last course.
#iamyoungfromkorea #YoungInSeoul #YoungInKorea #MichelinRestaurants #MichelinRestaurant
Many come to Seoul for its thousands of cafés,
but THIS is Koreas very first coffee shop
and it’s coincidentally, almost as old as I am 💕
(est. 1956) holds its place as Korea’s oldest coffee shop, and unbelievably, it looks almost unchanged from when I visited as a college student just around the corner
The same wall full of LPs,
The same warm, amber glow,
The same quiet magic that makes time slow, just a little.
✨ Order this: their Vienna Coffee — you won’t get far without a cloud of foam gracing your lips (consider it part of the charm 😉)
🍨 For nostalgia: the classic parfait, the very style we adored in the 70s
🌿 For tradition: beautifully simple Korean drinks like a cup of hot Jujube Tea
If you want to experience a Seoul that hasn’t rushed to modernize, and is adored by locals, this has to be it ☕️
#iamyoungfromkorea #HakrimCoffee #YoungInKorea #YoungInSeoul #SeoulCafe
Cover, 17-20: #Woljeonggyo Bridge (#월정교) One of the most photogenic spots in Gyeongju. The bridge is fully walkable and beautifully lit at night. Try to go early or late in the day—it’s quieter and the light is softer.
1 #NationalGyeongjuMuseum – “Smile of Silla” This small, smiling clay roof tile is one of Korea’s most beloved treasures—and a designated national treasure. Created by hand in the 7th century, the asymmetrical smile is imperfect but deeply human—charming in a way that lingers.
2, 3 Gyeongju This was ’s and my favorite café stop. Made up of seven connected hanoks (한옥), beautifully restored with open views of nearby tombs. Great coffee, quiet corners, and a design that blends history and comfort.
3, 7 Silla Millennium Archives A reading room and archive tucked inside the museum complex. Most people miss it, but it’s quiet and perfect for photos.
4 National Gyeongju Museum – Art Hall A separate building. Easy to pop into if you’re already visiting, with quiet exhibitions that often highlight Buddhist and regional art.
5, 6 National Gyeongju Museum Main Building This is the heart of the museum. The gold crowns, artifacts, and clear explanations give great context for everything else you’ll see across the city.
8-12 Yoseokgung1779
Located in the historic Gyeongju Choi (최부자댁) family home. It’s known for its seasonal course meals using generations-old recipes. A must if you’re looking for a refined dining experience. Tip: Reserve at least a day in advance for the higher-end set menus.
13 A small, contemporary museum inside the Hilton Hotel complex. The exhibitions were short, but well curated.
14 A hidden café inside a 100-year-old former railway officer’s home. Wooden beams, tall ceilings, and a cozy vintage charm. Their Oranda (오란다) is a must-try.
